Judy's voice came through the earpiece, interrupting Conan before he could finish speaking.

"Is this Shuichi's plan?"

"I trust his judgment."

"Also, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite capable, little detective~"

Conan's lips twitched slightly as he listened to Judy's teasing words.

"She really trusts you, Mr. Akai."

Conan sighed, but received no response for a long time.

"Mr. Akai?"

Conan turned his head in confusion, but did not see that familiar figure.

Conan:? ? ?

He looked at Kurosawa beside him.

Kurosawa pointed to the stairs to the side.

"He just went down from here."

"When?" Conan asked instinctively.

"Um……"

Kurosawa thought for a moment and then added the specific time.

"Just as Mr. Amuro was being led away by Ms. Judy."

This guy……

Conan turned and began searching underground.

Sure enough, Shuichi Akai was spotted on top of a container not far from Judy and her companion.

Seemingly noticing Conan's gaze, Shuichi Akai even turned around and waved at him.

Conan's mouth twitched.

He kept saying he couldn't be exposed to Amuro Tooru, but he still secretly ran to a place that was so close...

So you're still worried about Jodie facing Amuro Tooru alone, aren't you?

"After all, it was my script that I wrote. Ensuring the safety of the actors is only the right thing to do, isn't it?"

Shuichi Akai muttered to himself as he took out the sniper rifle he had prepared beforehand. After assembling it, he lay down and watched Tooru Amuro's movements through the scope.

Seeing this, Conan didn't say anything more.

Having an extra layer of protection is a good thing.

The actors are in place, so now it's time to see how Amuro Tooru reacts.

"Ms. Judy, we can begin."

"OK!"

……

Instructions to begin action have been received.

Judy's lips curled slightly as she quickly adjusted her facial expression to make herself look panicked.

"Huhuhu..."

She was panting heavily, turning her head to look behind her every now and then, her eyes filled with terror.

"No, please stop chasing me..."

She muttered to herself and ran forward in a panic.

Then, seemingly unaware of the pebbles on the ground, she twisted her ankle in her panic and fell to the ground in a disheveled state.

Judy shuddered and hurriedly tried to get up to continue her escape.

Amuro Tooru narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sudden situation before him.

But instead of slowing down, he quickened his pace toward Judy.

Seeing this, Judy tried even harder to get up.

But her ankle seemed to have been twisted during the process, and although she managed to stand up, she could only limp and stagger forward.

In this situation, Amuro Tooru easily caught up with her.

"No, don't come any closer..."

Judy's eyes were filled with fear.

He was trembling uncontrollably, and was finally forced by Amuro Tooru to stand in front of the container. He only managed to steady himself by leaning against the container.

Through disguise, Judy now looks like an ordinary high school student.

Coupled with her terrified expression, Amuro Tooru's steps faltered uncontrollably.

Is he a high school student?

Or was it an FBI agent in disguise?

But if it were an FBI agent in disguise, there would be no need for them to continue acting until now.

Their goal was probably just to separate him from Vermouth.

Having achieved its goal, the FBI can now reveal its true colors.

Amuro Tooru analyzed the situation while scrutinizing the person in front of him.

But in terms of facial expressions, demeanor, and body language, they are impeccable.

It's as if she really is a high school student who was innocently dragged into this.

But is it really such a coincidence?

Regardless, let's test the waters first.

Amuro Toru made a decision, but he did not stop.

Judy instinctively raised her hand to block in front of herself, making a gesture of resistance.

"No, don't kill me!"

Amuro Tooru stopped two steps away from Judy, looking slightly puzzled.

"kill you?"

"what are you talking about?"

"I only came after you because I saw you were alone and looked panicked, and I was worried that you might be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Judy carefully lowered her hand.

She seemed to believe Amuro Tooru's words, but she still had some doubts.

"Then why have you been chasing us?"

"Starting from the way we were just on the way here?"

Seeing Judy's doubtful look, Amuro Tooru remained calm and smiled gently.

"This."

"Actually, we are Kudo's friends. We were just following you around to say hello to him."

Amuro Tooru looked a little embarrassed.

Perhaps this action has caused you to misunderstand?

"But actually we really didn't have any bad intentions."

Amuro Tooru said with a sincere expression.

"Is this like this?"

Judy's attitude had clearly softened, and she looked completely innocent, foolish, and easily deceived.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and then said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you."

Seeing Judy's reaction, Amuro Tooru's eyes narrowed slightly.

But he still did not jump to conclusions.

Amuro Toru smiled and shook his head.

"No, it's also our fault for not explaining things clearly from the beginning."

"But why did you come here?"

"Judging from what just happened, this place doesn't seem very safe..."

Amuro Tooru feigned concern, speaking with a pointed tone.

"If possible, it would be better to leave as soon as possible, wouldn't it?"

"With your companions."

Judy seemed oblivious to the deeper meaning in his words, and simply nodded in agreement.

He then began answering Amuro Tooru's questions one by one.

"We are here in Osaka to attend an academic exchange conference."

"Since we're going back tomorrow, we thought we'd drive around Osaka for a bit."

"But I never expected to encounter something like this..."

Judy's tone was somewhat downcast.

"Although I really want to meet up with Kudo and the others, in this situation, I have no idea where I am or how to get out."

As Judy spoke, she covered her face and started crying, as if she were on the verge of a breakdown.
